In the jungle, amidst the trees,
There's a world of wonder, if you please.
Where kelp grows tall in the salty sea,
And ivy climbs up the trunks with glee.

A juniper tree with berries so bright,
Offers nectar to the birds in flight.
While the lily pads on the pond,
Provide a cozy spot to rest beyond.

Moss grows soft on the forest floor,
And herbs release their fragrant spore.
A nut falls from a tree up high,
As a kudzu vine stretches to the sky.

The leaves rustle as a breeze goes by,
And the creatures in the jungle sigh.
For life is good in this wondrous place,
Where nature's bounty is a sweet embrace.
